But that's actually one of the main points of distinction between the SiME Smart Glass and Google's version (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/30/google-glass-review/) of the wearable -- that and a much lower price point, of course. Taiwanese company ChipSip hopes to sell its Google Glass knock-off for $500, and though that seems palatable compared to $1,500, it's still not cheap. That price is even harder to swallow when you see just how complicated it is to use, as we discovered on the Computex (http://www.engadget.com/event/computex2014/articles/) show floor.
